Summary:In the realm of quantum information, entanglement stands as a cornerstone phenomenon. It underpins a vast array of quantum information processes, offering significant potential for advancements in quantum computing, communication, and sensing. This paper introduces a novel multi-photon entangled state, which generalizes the maximally entangled single-photon state and exhibits remarkable resilience to signal attenuation in photonic applications. We demonstrate the novelty of the proposed state through a simplified target detection model and illustrate its superior performance over traditional single-photon protocols, attributed to its higher entanglement level and enhanced noise suppression capabilities. Our findings suggest that the proposed multi-photon state holds significant promise for enhancing the efficiency and reliability of photonic applications subject to loss. This work lays the groundwork for future exploration into the practical applications of multi-photon entangled states in quantum technologies, potentially revolutionizing our approach to quantum sensing and beyond.
